Today, some guy asked me if he could borrow my lighter. I said "of course," reached into my handbag, and gave him the lighter. He stared at me for a few seconds until I realised I'd given him a tampax. FML

How did you manage to confuse your tampax for a lighter?

Almost corrected the fml on the spelling, but then I realized they're from the UK. On another note, that must have been awkward...

You can always open the tampon, stuff tobacco in it and light it to play it off.

Starred? That isn't a word. We say stared. We know Americans are lazy with spelling but we don't have stupid words in the uk.

I'd think a cigar would be a slightly more obvious confusion, but you can't really bum a cigar from people.

It was probably a tampon without an applicator wrapped in plastic.

At least it wasn't used.

MURIKKA | 11

#4795477 - Friday 10 August 2012 03:29

Because people keep used tampons in their handbags....

Could have been worse... It could have been a condom that she handed him instead.

Sunkistlover718 | 21

#4794417 - Thursday 9 August 2012 11:11

Guys are much more comfortable dealing with condoms than they are with tampax...

You confused a tampax to a lighter? I wonder what other objects you confused for another...

I hope she doesn't confuse a tazer for a razor... That could have a shocking ending.

Some guy? You didn't know him? If so, how did he know you had a lighter?

#4794491 - Thursday 9 August 2012 11:28

Well if OP is a smoker (assuming that) he most likely was also a smoker and knew she must have a lighter. I've seen my mom do it to total strangers.

StayClassyLassy | 6

#4794999 - Friday 10 August 2012 12:57

Exactly, smokers can tell other smokers apart from non-smokers.

The cigarette in her hand was probably a dead giveaway.
